As a freelance journalist in my spare time I like to write things that would be helpful to musicians. From experience, I know how musty a basement rehearsal room can be or how smoky a small practice room can get. Mixed with body odor from enthusiastic musicians, these smells can be off putting. Luckily, I came across a product that seemed to address this situation called Wonder Wafers.
​
Wonder Wafers is an industry leader founded by Cheryl and David Mobley whose mission was to set a standard in the automotive air freshener industry, having owned and operated several full service and exterior car washes. This extensive knowledge on how to improve the longevity and power of pleasant odors that completely obscure various annoying vehicle smells such as smoke, spilled drinks, mildew, etc. has really paid off. Throughout their 40+ years of being around they have these accolades to their name:
-
First to introduce the popular 2 oz. pump spray retail air freshener in 1980
-
First to introduce a non-flammable liquid air freshener in 1984 for much safer shipping and usage
-
First to introduce and expand the largest line of air freshener selections to the industry in 1985
-
First to introduce Insta-Scent - the “first of its kind” liquid concentrated air freshener in 1986
My personal experience with these dandy little air fresheners goes far beyond automotive. Their design allows for a multitude of uses. In fact, they cured the smelly practice rehearsal rooms. No longer do the body odors of straight-to-practice-after-work band members clash with the clouds of cigarette smoke in poorly ventilated areas.
I also replaced my car air fresheners with Wonder Wafers. Those ones you clip in the vents look tacky and the fact that you can put them out of sight and still get a great fragrance makes me feel like people think I’ve never let my car get dirty. It’s nice to know that this product empowers my confidence.
To sum it up, Wonder Wafers have been a great addition to my life in areas I wouldn’t have imagined were possible as well as areas where other air fresheners didn’t seem to work. With Wonder Wafers, I get a fantastic smell as advertised on the label that completely eliminates the odors I’ve had to deal with for many years. Most imporantly, and most unexpectedly, these gems cured the stinky, smoky band rehearsal rooms. Thanks Wonder Wafers!
